local wildlife photo competition

Ready, set, snap!

Gloucestershire Wildlife Trust’s annual wildlife photography competition is now open for entries, with new categories and bigger and better prizes.

GWT would love to see your images showcasing the stunning scenery and spectacular wildlife here in Gloucestershire.We appreciate that movement is currently restricted due to lockdown but we think the ‘on your doorstep’ category provides the perfect opportunity for capturing snaps of wildlife and wild places close to your home – either in your garden or whilst out enjoying your daily exercise.

In addition to the adult categories, there is also a juniors category for those aged 17 or under – a great excuse for a family photography session, and a fun activity for children to take part in. 

We're looking forward to seeing your entries, whether it's a photograph that's been taken on a smartphone, compact camera or SLR.

To find out more about the categories and how to enter, head to www.gloucestershirewildlifetrust.co.uk/photocomp

Entries close at midnight on 31 July 2020.
